SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – The day before Thanksgiving is traditionally the busiest day of the year at Springfield’s Peter Pan bus terminal.

22News cameras captured some the mid-day activity. Dozens of people waited to board the bus that would take them to Albany. Veteran Peter Pan employee Everett Anderson told 22News of the excitement he always on this day.

Everett Anderson, Peter Pan Bus Line, told 22News, “I guess a real special time. You know 45 years is a long time. I’ve seen it all. What’s the best part of it? Everyone gets going home I guess, that’s the good part.”

Anderson said it’s so busy Peter Pan has to supplement its fleet of buses with rolling stock from some of the other bus companies in Western Massachusetts.
